The Day Before the Game


Today we have another in our series of photos from the Green Bay Press-Gazette that depict the days and weeks leading up to the 1961 NFL championship game at City Stadium. The original caption for this photo read: “From left, New York Giants president Jack Mara, NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle and Packers president Dominic Olejniczak (the man who hired Vince Lombardi) examine the playing field at City Stadium on Dec. 30, 1961, the day before the NFL championship game between the Packers and the Giants.”
